Originally posted by margaretmarch View PostI agree and probably means she is not looking to work otherwise might need a visa/permit?

I'm guessing this comment was added as she was a trained nurse as recorded on the image - presumably Canada would have welcomed immigrants who were trained nurses?
Would a permit/visa have been required? She was a British citizen heading for Macleod, Alberta in 1907. I know zilch about the political history of Canada at this time - was Alberta part of the Dominion of Canada at this time and therefore British too? (Pardon my ignorance.)
As it turns out from new information uncovered yesterday, she went on to run a nursing home in Alberta so perhaps the income dwindled or ran out ...
